To investigate the association between aldosterone and cardiac diastolic dysfunction.
We prospectively enrolled 20 patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and 22 patients with essential hypertension (EH). Plasma aldosterone concentration, plasma renin activity, and 24-h urine aldosterone level were measured. Echocardiography, including tissue Doppler image recordings, was performed.
PA patients had a significantly higher left ventricular (LV) mass index and worse LV diastolic function than those in EH patients. Among various measures of aldosterone, log-transformed 24-h urine aldosterone level had the most consistent correlation with diastolic function.
Aldosterone is strongly associated with LV diastolic dysfunction. Twenty-four hour urine aldosterone is a good indicator to evaluate the impact of aldosterone on LV diastolic function.
探讨醛固酮与心脏舒张功能障碍之间的关联。
我们前瞻性纳入了20例原发性醛固酮增多症(PA)患者和22例原发性高血压(EH)患者。测量血浆醛固酮浓度、血浆肾素活性和24小时尿醛固酮水平。进行了超声心动图检查,包括组织多普勒图像记录。
PA患者的左心室(LV)质量指数显著高于EH患者,且LV舒张功能更差。在醛固酮的各种测量指标中,经对数转换的24小时尿醛固酮水平与舒张功能的相关性最为一致。
醛固酮与LV舒张功能障碍密切相关。24小时尿醛固酮是评估醛固酮对LV舒张功能影响的良好指标。
